TheFastOne21 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Another NCAA prospect in the system...Works for me!From Hockey's future before the start of the 2013 season about Zalewski:"One returning veteran who is poised to take a significant step this season is sophomore Mike Zalewski. The New Hartford, NY native finished tied for first on the team with 12 goals and finished fifth with 21 points in 36 games. Zalewski is the younger sibling of former San Jose Sharks draft pick and Clarkson standout, Steve Zalewski. The younger Zalewski has good size (6’2”, 210 lbs.), is fiercely competitive, and uses those attributes well in battles for loose pucks."He is said to have potential as a solid and reliable bottom 6 NHL level player I read somewhere just now.Number 19 in this video taken from the stands. During the last minutes of a game. Can see his positioning and skating some in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLemming Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I always look forward to our college signings. This is where I trust MG! Also, hockeydb says he's a defense but the Canucks statement says forward. Assuming hockeydb just has it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
